Review summaries and opinions

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

ROI

Sentiment score
7.8
Acronis Cyber Protect improved morale, efficiency, and cost recovery, offering peace of mind and reliable data recovery benefits.
Sentiment score
7.5
Nasuni users enjoy cost savings, increased productivity, and efficiency from reduced labor, cloud scalability, and improved data management.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
Acronis Cyber Protect support has mixed reviews; technical support is praised for knowledge, but initial responses can be slow.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni's customer service is praised for responsiveness and professionalism, efficiently solving issues with reliable and knowledgeable support.
I'll give them a nine for how responsive they are in technical support.
Whenever I have a question, they respond very quickly each time.
The support takes too much time to respond to callbacks.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Acronis Cyber Protect offers scalable growth and flexibility, though some users report issues with specific databases and backup durations.
Sentiment score
7.3
Nasuni offers scalable, user-friendly data storage, efficiently meeting diverse organizational needs and supporting physical or virtual deployments.
Acronis Cyber Protect is a scalable product.
I would rate it eight on a scale from 1 to 10 for scalability, considering it will be multiple assets.
I rated the scalability as seven because even though the solution can scale, load balancing must be done manually, as it's not automated.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Acronis Cyber Protect is generally stable, with minor setup challenges and occasional performance issues during large backups.
Sentiment score
8.2
Nasuni is praised for its stability, offering reliable performance, minimal maintenance, and flexibility with virtually no downtime issues.
It ended up being at a point where we actually had to disable some features in order for the client to work through that specific purpose.
The stability of Acronis Cyber Protect is very high.
 

Room For Improvement

Acronis Cyber Protect needs UI improvements, better support, enhanced backups, compatibility, and cloud integration to address user concerns.
Nasuni struggles with cloud integration, performance, and user experience, needing improvements in data retention, security, and analytics.
It's only after we discovered there was a compatibility issue with the application that the client was running that we actually had to do a lot of log file shipping to Acronis themselves and getting solutions because of other problems.
Acronis Cyber Protect could be more affordable, especially for us in South America.
The Protect environment should automatically secure the last backup screens to prevent any changes, even by an admin.
I suggest Nasuni improve their syslog forwarders to support TCP protocol, as it's more secure than UDP, which is plain text and not protected at all.
 

Setup Cost

Acronis Cyber Protect offers reasonable pricing and good value, though complex pricing may challenge evaluators, especially for smaller environments.
Nasuni offers competitive pricing with flexible cloud compatibility, licensing per terabyte, and cost-effective enterprise solutions.
I would rate the price as nine out of ten.
I prefer solutions with lower pricing.
 

Valuable Features

Acronis Cyber Protect provides comprehensive backup, security features, and management tools, ensuring data protection across multiple platforms for businesses.
Nasuni provides scalable cloud-based file management with global file locking, data security, and efficient disaster recovery features.
The NASDAQ level CFS level backup is the feature I find most beneficial for our data protection strategy.
This is beneficial because any backup package stored in the cloud is not free, and if it shrinks well, it allows users to pay less for cloud storage.
It also encrypts your backups and makes it safe, so it doesn't get affected with viruses.
The features I find most valuable in Nasuni are the unlimited snapshots, antivirus capabilities, auditing, and ransomware protection.

It helped us save 40 to 45 percent on some types of data
It can provide a 360-degree view of your data, depending on how you implement it and whether you're storing your data in Nasuni. However, if you're working with multiple cloud providers, I don't think it's mature enough to provide a 360-degree view of what's in AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I think it can do it, but it's still a lot of scope and range fitting. Given that Nasuni storage is actually cheaper in some areas, it made sense for us to move a lot of our data away from Microsoft. Nasuni gave us more of a 360 view of that particular data type. Other data types are a little different because the company went in a direction where they wanted to store some stuff in an AWS S3 bucket rather than a file storage system. An S3 bucket has its advantages, but if you were to store more of your data in Nasuni, you would get a wider 360-degree view of it rather than on several cloud providers. I have data in AWS, Google, and Azure, and I would like to see a wider view of all the data stored across these three top providers. Currently, I use it for AWS and Azure, but I couldn't use both of them at the same time. I think Nasuni could have better visibility across these different areas. I had to take my data out and then do some analysis to get the costs. It would be helpful to have more built-in analytics tools to compare the storage costs between the various cloud providers. I would also like some graphing capabilities. We had a tool called Grafana that we used for graphing. I think some more visual analytics like that would be nice.
